Happy Veteran's Day to our UV Veterans!

It's actually supposed to be today and just being observed tomorrow so I thought I'd go ahead and send best wishes to you all. God bless you for your service and thank you.  :)

I got to Veteran in Dungeon Siege II.

It's actually kind of pissing me off, because I'm on 10 hour pass and everything on base is closed for the holiday.

Oh, the irony.

A little late but ty Brugdor

I was at the parade and dedication of the new "Gulf War" plaque my town put up (covering both Desert storm and the present conflict) was actualy surprised to see my own name appear on the plaque (as I don't recall ever telling anyone outside of the Vets Admin that I was a Vet living here lol) Got a bit tearie eyed over that bit. But I can say it is one Vets day I will never forget. The thing is here I am alive and kicking (well so far anyway) but it is the guys that didn't come back that I think deserve to be remembered more then us survivors as they truley "gave their all" in service to their countrys (I am not just talking about american Vets here)

So while a bit late, here is to all of those that never came home, my thanks and thoughts are with you and your families always.
You May Soar with the eagles but Weasels do not get sucked into ramjets! Gotta watch out for the hovercrafts though...
